Bobby Brown arrested just four days after the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office released the results for the autopsy of Bobby Brown’s ex-wife, Whitney Houston. The Chief Coroner of the case Craig Harvey said Houston had cocaine in her system “in the time period just immediately prior to her collapse in the bathtub at the hotel.” It was determined, the singer Houston, 48, died from an accidental drowning Feb. 11, following a heart episode contributed by cocaine. Brown and Houston met at the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards and married three years later. Their marriage was portrayed in the media with a slew of drug use, domestic allegations and run-ins with the law.

The Bobby Brown arrest would not be the first time the singer went to jail for DUI. In 1998, he pled guilty to the same charge and spent eight days in jail.
